Re: Not the usual parent question

I followed a boyfriend to school, but there are so many changes in the lives of young adults, that it just didn't work out (praise be). Met my husband at the same school, though so I never regretted my school choice decision. Ask her if her boyfriend decided to go to College D, then would she still be pursuing a letter of admittance from A?

In the long run, choose the school that will provide her with the very best education and opportunities upon graduation. When she begins to audition for her first "real" job, it will be more about how she performs than whether or not she got along with her college instructor. My husband is a professional musician, and I can say by watching his career that it is also some about WHO you know rather than WHAT you know. Which school can help her launch her professional career the best?

As a parent, however, scholarship money is significant...maybe even the deciding factor. If she can get an EQUAL education and career boost from C as she can from A, and if you need the financial assistance that you can get from C, then that's a no-brainer.

She can't see past the boyfriend thing, I know. Neither could I.
